Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC), French aerospace company Thales (Euronext Paris: HO), and wireless technology innovator Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM) are planning to take 5G out of this world and across a network of Earth-orbiting satellites.

After having each conducted detailed research, which included multiple studies and simulations, the parties plan to enter smartphone-use-case-focused testing and validation of 5G non-terrestrial networks (5G NTN).

The result could effectively mean that a future 5G smartphone could use 5G connectivity anywhere on Earth and provide complete global coverage for wideband data services, including places normally only covered by legacy satellite phone systems with limited data connectivity capabilities.

The benefits of 5G connectivity via low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are expected to include coverage in extreme geographies or remote areas across seas, oceans and other locations where terrestrial coverage is absent.

Such widespread connectivity would boost 5G smartphone subscriber roaming service capabilities, as well as enabling global connectivity for transportation, energy and health sector 5G use cases.

The space-based network could also be used as back-up support to terrestrial networks in the event of major network outages or disasters.

The expected security capabilities of 5G NTNs mean that national government communications may be a main use case, to enhance safe and secure national security and public safety government networks.

Erik Ekudden, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Ericsson, says: This testing and validation cooperation between Ericsson, Thales and Qualcomm Technologies will be a major milestone in the history of communications as the ultimate result could effectively mean that no matter where you are on Earth in the middle of an ocean or the remotest forest high-end, secure and cost-effective connectivity will be available through collaborative 5G satellite and terrestrial connectivity.

John Smee, senior vice president of engineering, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., says: For 5G to fulfill on the promise of ubiquitous connectivity, it is imperative that it can also deliver network coverage in areas where terrestrial cellular networks do not exist, whether that be over oceans or in remote areas. Our planned research with Ericsson and Thales will kick off an important step in making this vital technology a reality. We are looking forward to what this collaboration can accomplish.

Philippe Keryer, Executive Vice-President, Strategy, Research and Technology, Thales, says:The deployment of 5G networks marks a step change for the telecoms industry. It is a game changer, not only in terms of business opportunities but also in the skills required to connect and protect billions of people and things. Thales is deeply involved in it through the different activities of the Group. The research collaboration with Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies will demonstrate the belief of our companies that 5G non-terrestrial Networks will contribute to this revolution and will take network resiliency and security to the next level.

The Cooperation

The testing and validation by Ericsson, Thales and Qualcomm Technologies following the March 2022 go-ahead by 3GPP the global telecommunications standards body is intended to support non-terrestrial networks for the first time.

The goal of the testing will be to validate various technology components needed to enable 5G non-terrestrial networks, including a 5G smartphone, satellite payload and 5G network pieces on the ground.

This work also aims to validate that 5G NTN can be supported in a smartphone form factor allowing tomorrows 5G smartphone to effectively become a satellite-phone. Initial tests will take place in an emulated space environment in France, where the majority of European space-focused industry is based.

Ericsson plans to verify a 5G virtual RAN (vRAN) stack, modified to handle radio signals propagating (what happens to 5G radio waves travelling through the vacuum of space and the Earths atmosphere) via the fast-moving LEO satellites.

Thales plans to verify a 5G radio satellite payload suitable for deployment on LEO satellites, while Qualcomm Technologies plans to provide test phones verifying that 5G NTN can be accessed by future 5G smartphones.

Experts will use ground-based equipment to emulate the 5G radio propagation and time delays between an equipped satellite in orbit and connecting a 5G smartphone with the 5G radio access network at different places on the Earths surface.

Ekudden adds: While it is too early to say when any resulting 5G equipped prototype satellite could be launched into orbit for real operational use, the highly technical ground-based testing and validation work planned between Ericsson, Thales and Qualcomm Technologies is key to making it happen.

As a 3GPP-backed technology, 5G NTNs will be able to capitalize on a large ecosystem of standardized products and components. The new specification also enables the inclusion of NTN technologies in 5G devices, providing opportunities for technology vendors to easily and quickly scale 5G NTN compatibility across devices.

Atotech, a global market leader for specialty chemicals, equipment, software, and services, is one of the technology companies involved in developing Germanys first error-improved quantum computer. The task is brought to life by QSolid, a joint project of 25 German research institutions and companies. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research with 76.3 million euros over the next five years.

Numerous manufacturers and start-ups are working together to set up a national development and supply chain in preparation of commercializing an independent quantum computer made in Germany. All involved project partners such as Atotech have the opportunity early on to set industrial standards and to develop potential uses.

Brian Daniels, Vice President R&D, said: Atotech is committed to innovation, and we look forward to collaborate with the consortium partners on new solutions to enable quantum computing. It is highly motivating to work with so many partners on such a cutting-edge program, and we are very proud to be part of the QSolid team.

As part of the supply-chain segment of the project, Atotech is responsible for the electrolytic deposition of indium onto suitable superconducting substrates. Indium is needed to connect the sensitive qubit wafer, which represents the logic of the quantum computer, to the interposer and the readout wafer. The main challenge, however, is to create a set of layers that is compatible with the high demands of superconducting quantum computing, said Ralf Schmidt, R&D Manager for Semiconductor at Atotech. The quantum computer requires interconnects that are superconductive at temperatures above 1 K. Our experts at Atotech are developing a process for indium deposition which aims to cover these requirements.

QSolid recently announced a joint project among 25 German research institutes and companies to develop an error-improved quantum computer, made in Germany. The objective is to set up a comprehensive ecosystem embedded in the supercomputing environment at the research center in Juelich, Germany. The ecosystem then shall be made accessible to external users. A first demonstrator of the quantum computer is planned to start operating in mid-2024.

Though still in an early stage of development, quantum computers one day promise breakthroughs in the field of materials and drug development or in the optimization of traffic control. In the future, they could be far superior to conventional supercomputers for certain tasks.

HONG KONG, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / July 3, 2022 /TickerWin, one of the leading market research companies, has released a report on 'Booming of Computing Industry with Blockchain Technology'. Metaverse is a virtual world based on VR and AR technologies, in which users can interact with each other. Beyond social interactions, it will also be a place for shopping, events, education, and more. The metaverse game is a game world in which users will exist as avatar versions of themselves, supported by NFT and Blockchain technologies. They can then engage in daily activities such as meeting up with friends, buying groceries and attending a work event.

Quantum Computing, Bio-Computing and Blockchain-Computing

Computing power has always been increasing. However, new developments on the horizon like quantum computing and bio-computing are set to blow Moore's Law - the observation made in 1965 that computers tend to roughly double in power every two years - out of the water. The field of computing that we refer to as artificial intelligence, specifically machine learning and deep learning, has chiefly become viable in the past decade or so because computer processors have finally become available that can keep up with the background mathematics that is required. Today, Google is said to have a working quantum computer capable of operating 100 million times faster than any non-quantum computer in existence. While this will only be relevant to a very limited number of use cases (it's unlikely you could use it to play the game 100 million times faster than on an powerful GPU, for example), it's clear that we're getting set for an increase in computing power, unlike anything we've seen before.

The Rise of Blockchain and NFT assets

With the arrival of a new open, decentralized internet, comes an increased focused on blockchain, for the management of transparent data. Blockchains allow for convenient, trustless data exchanges, recorded histories, and decentralized authority.

Many experts believe the blockchain will play an important role in the creation of a safe and fair metaverse. The blockchain is also helping to form the creation of a new economy within the metaverse, one defined by creators being able to monetize the things they make and receive adequate compensation for their talents.

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, for instance, are an exciting part of the metaverse, which allow people to sell everything from data to services and experiences, in a way that benefits the actual artist or creator behind each asset.

The roles for startups to play

Startups are emerging across the globe with their own metaverses. Furthermore, NFTs have also been a hot topic for many months now and the prospect of combining NFTs and metaverse solutions holds great potential. Numerous startups have been launching platforms in which users can create, mint and sell their own NFTs. These platforms are also working with brands and businesses who want to enter the NFT space.

Beyond creating their own metaverses, startups also develop technology to help build or support metaverses. In this sense, they play a tech enabler role. For example, they can provide businesses with the tools to create their own immersive 3D environments in the metaverse, with high quality visuals and optimal user experience. They can provide companies with the tools to launch solutions to host their meetings in the metaverse or to advertise their products at virtual events. Such tools include 3D development, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, etc.

As questions and concerns arise around user safety, regulating the metaverse and other legal matters, businesses will likely need to implement cybersecurity and compliance solutions. Startups, which are already leading in these areas for sectors like insurance, will emerge as key providers to ensure compliance with future regulations and security best practices.
